Question

write the fraction as a percent and as a decimal.
there is no simplifying involved in making this change.
options for solving:

• make an equivalent fraction that has a denominator of 100.
• this gives you a fraction that you should be able to easily write the fraction and decimal from because it is over 100.
• use long division.
• this will give you your decimal answer and from that you should be able to write the percent.
• if you have a mixed number, you have to change it to an improper fraction first.
• now you can make an equivalent fraction or use long division to solve.
• if you have a mixed number, that means you have a percent that is greater than 100.
